Tom Hicks Vice Chair of Clear Channel sure has tricked you DU'ers!

[trumad]

So who exactly suspended/fired Howard Stern? The lack of outrage here at DU and other Progressive sites is astonishing! I know...I know... folks will hop on this thread and claim that the Powerful Clear Channel monopoly has the right legally to do as it please with their property. FINE! But that's not the point in the Big Picture!

Folks here awhile back were outraged that the cute Little Dixie Chicks were getting er Dixie Chicked by Clear Channel radio stations throughout the land! But wait... Buuuut...didn't Clear Channel have the right er...to legally to do that? Yes they did...but that didn't stop the outrage and the defense of the poor Dixie Chicks here at DU... But again...didn't CC have the right to do so..legally? Oh but it's different this time... Howards a swine as one poster noted.... Coincidence? I think not! Clear Channel did not like what the Dixie Chicks were saying about Mr. Hicks good buddy, and there ain't do doubt that the same thing is happening with Howard Stern under the guise that some caller said "Nigger eating Watermellon"! One day!!! One Day after Howard turns it on Bush and his cronies, Howards toast with CC. One Day!

To see Clear Channel trick the smart folks on DU is simply amazing....You guy's actually believe what Tom Hicks is telling you!? Incredible...

Tommy Hicks, the Vice Chair of Clear Channel Communications

Tommy Hicks, the guy who made Bush a millionaire 15 times over when he bought the Texas Rangers in ’99.

Tommy Hicks, A member of Dubya's Pioneer club and one of Dubya's largest campaign contributors!

Tommy Hicks, the guy who controls The University of Texas Investment Management Company?

Tom Hicks, the guy who in my mind bought the Presidency of George Walker Bush!

Here's a good little piece about CC from Buzzflash....

So my fellow DU'ers... If you believe that Howard Stern was canned by CC because he allowed a caller to ramble on about Niggers and Watermellon, then you are simply believing what Tom Hicks want you to believe! CC got rid of Howard Stern because Howard Stern started to see the light about Tommy Hicks pet puppet, George Walker Bush!
